Our Story

Nurturing musical talent since 1995

Clefia Academy of Music

At Clefia Academy of Music, we believe that music is more than a discipline — it is a way of life. It is emotion made audible, imagination set free.

Founded in the vibrant heart of Chatswood, Clefia was born from a vision to create a music academy where technical excellence meets artistic soul, where every student is treated not just as a learner, but as a unique storyteller through sound.

Our community brings together elite performers, passionate educators, and curious minds — all bound by a shared belief that music has the power to transform lives.

Our Mission

To cultivate not just skilled musicians, but expressive artists — confident, curious, and connected — through inspired teaching, meaningful performance, and a love for music that lasts a lifetime.

Our Vision

To become a leading institution of music education in Australia, where tradition and innovation walk hand in hand, and where every student’s voice — in music and in life — is heard, nurtured, and celebrated.

We teach because we love. Passion fuels our classrooms, our rehearsals, our concerts. It ignites creativity, sustains perseverance, and transforms practice into purpose

We embrace a modern vision of music education. From integrating drama, visual storytelling and movement, to culturally diverse repertoire and bilingual support — our programs are as dynamic as the world we live in
